. . . Some of us have suffered considerable ostracization and isolation because of our intense refusal to compromise for long in structures that do not respect and encourage autonomy and self-mastery. Ours are not virgin hearts or minds but the heartminds of truly independent thinkers. We were attracted to your work because some of this same experience and predilection has clearly shaped your profound and deeply considered thinking and presentation. You sensed this in many of us and invited us into what quickly became a profound and loving conversation.

Your ideas and descriptions of experiences such as “alignment beyond agreement,” “omnicentric civilization,” “synergy,” “wholeness,” “process thought,” and ”authentic thinking” resonated deeply with us and continue to do so. Also, you as a person have resonated deeply with many of us. We recognize our own struggles and desires in your relating of your struggles and desires. We have so longed for a community in which the longings of our souls can find full and free expression. We have so longed for conversations beyond the narrow confines of the egoic “I” and instead from a free and open place that is aware of each of our true I-nesses, our full flow from the pure subjective into the field of the pure objective, recognizing them both as emanations from the one Spirit.

You have helped us give voice to these longings and with great generosity have helped us refine our language both for inquiry and for communication with one another in the growing body of “one-another-ness” as we move out as clearer, stronger manifestations and centers of this Wholeness in the world. I know how full you are of insight and how pregnant you are with wisdom. I have heard your great longing to share what you have learned in too much isolation and solitude. I plan to be there to hear as much of it as possible as you share it. Your offering is a great resource and blessing for the whole world and especially for those of us in this emerging and linking omnicentric community. We wish to hold, continually welcome, and support your love and service just as you hold and support ours. . . .
